Sorry if it was not clear, but my post had _nothing_ to do with "CDNs".
I was just talking about people setting up anycast name servers, each
of which pointed at a different HTTP server (or other service), to
spread load. In many cases, the two servers are the same.

No, it disproves. You say "it will not / cannot work". Showing you
a working instance in production absolutely disproves your statement.
You can say "it might break", but that's a different statement.
